I've been disappointed with it so far. Some of the design choices are just awful--whose idea was it to have no visible health bar? Being able to do only one randomly selected action at a time is terrible too--maybe I *don't* want to do the Dirty Dancing finishing move with the old man blacksmith just to get a discount!
Plus, the lack of a childhood chapter really cuts out the only character development the Fable games have ever had--in Fable II, I cared a lot more about Rose and Barnum after seeing them in the prologue.
As for bugs, my glowy trail never seems to work right--sometimes it doesn't appear at all, sometimes it abruptly changes its mind and makes me retrace my steps. I remember a little glowy line lag in Fable II but nothing like that. Plus people you're leading around by the nose can get hung up on the least little thing; I've had to restore twice because a quest-necessary NPC got themselves caught on a rock.
The game definitely needed more than 2 years' development time (hell, Fable II took 4!). And yet I'm still doggedly playing it.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
